Maybe inflation fears are just that-Fears….
Could be that Lumber is the new leading economic indicator

A couple of months ago lumber went off the charts crazy pushing new home prices up by tens of thousands, but in a dramatic turnaround lumber has cooled big time.

On Monday, the lumber futures contract traded back below $1,000 per thousand board feet for the first time since late March. A level that is still elevated to be sure, but back in line with pandemic-era peaks seen in late summer 2020, and the early winter of 2021.

Yahoo Finance 6-15-21

Through the spring, the surge in lumber prices became the market narrative as it covered every pandemic-related trend: Labor shortages, shipping constraints and housing demand — all in one place.

Apollo Future Mobility Group, Ltd.[HKSE: 0860]
Buy Rating-Target HK$ 1.50
Deal Announced With Shanghai Jinqiao To Launch Apollo EV Prototype Later This Year

 Shanghai Jinqiao EV Deal Announced.  On March 30, AFMG announced it signed an agreement with Shanghai Jinqiao [SS: 600639 / 900911] to develop and manufacture EV sports cars, luxury vehicles and SUVs with the “Apollo” brand name in the Development Zone in Pudong, Shanghai.  AFMG intends to create a JV with a local partner and will set up a R&D center, regional headquarters and production lines in the Development Zone.  Jinqiao will provide land for the plant and work with the government to secure capital for the project, similar to the deal Tesla [Nasdaq: TSLA] received.  Management believes the location is ideally suited from a supply chain standpoint, with numerous auto-related companies in the Development Zone.  We believe this arrangement is likely the result of AFMG’s strong showing at CIIE in November.  The prototype vehicle, which will be designed by Ideenion and incorporate solid state batteries, 800V SiC dual inverters and 3D printed parts, will launch later this year, with commercial production expected in 2023.  Should AFMG find a solid partner, this deal could create unique a domestic China EV brand that showcases the Company’s technology and design expertise.  Additionally, it could completely transform AFMG’s financials and create a substantial increase in the Company’s stock price given the valuations of other EV companies.

Legacy Property Sold.  On March 30, AFMG announced it agreed to sell its legacy commercial property in Shenyang to an unrelated buyer for HK$200,000,000, which carried a NAV of HK$199,063,000.  Legacy asset divestitures have been expected for some time and this marks another step towards exiting old business lines as generating cash to be put into the mobility business.

EV Power Update.  On February 25, the Company announced that EV Power accepted an equity investment from a HK-listed telecom company.  The size of the investment and the valuation were not disclosed.  The investment drops AFMG’s ownership in EV Power from 38.08% to 32.66%.  By way of comparison, EV Power and Blink Charging [Nasdaq: BLNK] each have roughly 23,000 charging units.  Blink has a market cap of US$1.80 billion, which when placing equal value to the charging units, would make AFMG’s equity position worth roughly HK$4.6 billion, or slightly more than 860’s entire market cap.

Model Update.  Despite the magnitude of the announcements, we made few changes to our model.  We will hold off on adding any impact on the Apollo EV announcement until a JV partner is announced and there is a better idea of how that will be structured and funded.

ValuEngine Weekly Report

By: Herb Blank

Defensive Sector ETFs for Turbulent Times
This week’s featured US equity ETFs, all focused on the US Consumer Staples Sector, are projected to outperform the market going forward. The similarities with last week’s blog end there.  These all get a more modest 4 (buy) recommendation.  Risk versus safety differentiate the last blog from this one.

My last blog entry profiled ETF opportunities in the Biotech subindustry group. They were all listed as top 5 rated ETFs from ValuEngine, following recent pullbacks.  All had been characterized by above-average market volatility and above-average returns during the past 10 years.  All had very different construction and maintenance methodologies. This week the chosen ETFs are all from the US Consumer Staples Sector.
